Lauren & Trent's Engagement: Greater Toronto Area Engagement Photographer
That million dollar question…when should I come in for my baby’s milestone session? I get asked this on the weekly so I thought a little blog post would help clarify a few things for mom and dad’s.
Meeting Lauren and Trent was so much fun. Their engagement session was scheduled for a beautiful crisp fall evening at one of our favourite conservation areas in Bowmanville. There are 2 entrances to this conservation park and guess who pulled into the wrong one? :) It happens, I was close enough to whip around the corner and pull into the parking lot. There I was waving to them while chatting on the phone to Lauren and unbuckling my seat belt. Haaa quite the scene I tell ya.
Engagement sessions are a great way to get yourself comfortable in front of the camera before your wedding day. Almost all of my couples are used to pictures being done on the phone but not a Professional Photoshoot. Just ask Lauren and Trent…the first thing we do is chat, laugh, walk and have fun. I knew that when Trent’s personality and true colours came out that it was going to be an amazing and fun shoot!
Lauren had a perma grin on the whole time. I loved their dynamics and sense of humour. Trent, I want to see that catwalk at your wedding :)
All jokes aside, the love between this sweet couple was so clear. He’s so smitten with you Lauren it’s so heartwarming to see.
Fall engagement photos never fail me. The colours, tones, fleeting warm days and cool evenings make for the perfect setting to capture young love.
SO excited to celebrate your beautiful wedding this coming October with you both. Countdown has officially begun!

Margaret & John's Love Story: Whitby Ajax Wedding Photography
They say people meet by chance. But I am a firm believer that paths and connections are meant to happen. The Universe and God have a funny way of making sure to give you what you need at the right time. Thus is the case with my amazing couple and sweet friends Margaret & John
They say people meet by chance. But I am a firm believer that our paths and connections are meant to happen. Yes fate, karma whatever that means to you. The Universe and God have a funny way of making sure to give you what you need at the right time. This is the case with my amazing couple and sweet friends Margaret & John. Shortly after the Pandemic they lost their wedding photographer leaving them to start back at square one. Not exactly how you’d like things to go when planning a wedding right? Not to mention doing so after the world has stopped. When Margaret reached out, she explained her story and after a Starbucks Coffee date we knew that it was the start of a beautiful relationship.
We sat on the patio on a breezy early spring morning and after 10 minutes of listening to them both, catching glimpses of their adoration between one another, John’s dry sense of humour and a ridiculous amount of laughter…I knew their wedding day was going to be pretty epic. And here’s how it unfolded…
Getting ready photos were done at Ajax Hilton, First Look was done at Parkwood Estates in Oshawa. Followed by Refreshments and Intermission at one of John’s amazing Pubs: Bollock’s Pub in Oshawa. He owns a few more locations and if you’ve never been, I highly recommend you do so. The Pub intermission was pretty awesome and unheard-of on a wedding day. I must admit we absolutely loved the 30 min break to sit and hydrate. We were under strict orders to relax from our bride and groom. I mean…how thoughtful right? It was sentimental for them both and of course we had to have a shot outside before we went in.
Margaret you are stunning! John…that colour of suit was SUCH a nice change from the ordinary. Well done ;) You guys are one of a kind and compliment one another so well.
This day was full of so many amazing people, services and vendors. An incredible job done by
Hair & Makeup: Katie Lyne hair & Makeup and of course our favourite and best Wedding Florist Aspen Florist
Margaret’s sweet big sister Liz was her right hand throughout the entire day. Thank you Liz for all your help. . It’s clear to see how much you both love one another.
Such a FUN jam packed day we had. Margaret, your attention to detail and organizational skills are killer girl. I do love me a well organized bride and groom lol. . The laugher, the tears and the singing out loud after a few beers was so fun to document. I also wanted to send out a huge thanks to Jolene for all your help that day. Love ya sister, till next time!

Carley & Jacob's Engagement
Save the Date! Carley & Jacob are getting hitched ;) I absolutely loved meeting these lovebirds and I simply CANNOT wait to document their big day on October 9th, 2022!
So this is Piper. LOL Isn’t she adorable? Honest, she really does love Jacob too. But clearly was like no buddy…she’s mine. Man we laughed so hard, but what a picture and memory it made for.
Who’s a good girl? ;). Look at that smile…
Our fall golden hour evening was amazing. Below is a sneak peak of just a little fun we created and documented that day.
If you took a moment to check out the gallery you’ll have noticed Piper got a few burrs stuck. No harm done while removing, but last picture is classic!
Much love beauties…
Huge Congratulations guys…roll on October :)
